Training, Certification, and Ongoing Support to Grow Your Practice
Success in implementing any treatment modality into your clinic starts with quality training from experienced clinicians who lead busy, thriving practices. Vale Medical has assembled a team of respected healthcare professionals from across North America who are at the forefront of shockwave therapy — teaching, innovating, and setting the standard in clinical excellence.
Through 1-on-1 sessions, online education, and continuous after sale support, we deliver practical, results-driven education tailored for users of STORZ Radial Shockwave, Focused Shockwave, and EMTT (Magnetolith®). With Vale Medical, your team will gain the skills, confidence, and clinical insight to improve patient outcomes and grow your practice.
Elevate Your Practice to the Next Level With Vale
All of our trainers share one thing in common — they actively use and champion Storz Medical technology in their own high-performing clinics. Whether it’s Radial Shockwave, Focused Shockwave, or EMTT (Magnetolith®), each trainer brings hands-on expertise and real-world insights to every session.
From day one, you’ll gain practical knowledge in treatment techniques, clinical best practices, billing strategies, charting tips, and how to confidently communicate and market the technology to your patients. Many clinicians who’ve completed this training have quickly seen a return on their investment — both in patient outcomes and practice growth.
